I remember always being puzzled by the screenshots that appear in the last part of the manual, they showed tiny in-game shots of what appears to be a modern world version of the game, complete with cars, houses and characters in suits and dresses... does anyone know what this is about?

fallout 1 has a screeny on the back of the box that shows junktown under attack by radscorpions (and some dude toasting them with a flamethrower, hank scorpio i see you right above me wielding your flame-thrower! hehe)
i didnt encounter that in the game.. could be screenies of stuff they changed..

Only "modern world" part I vaguely remember was the intro cut-scene. That's about it.

that B&W image leads me to believe this may have been part of a 'flashback' sequence or some kind of cut-scene.. the rest of the game is real-life/color..
in the fallout games, i would think that B&W is some kind of reference to the heady days of 1940's / 1950's budding nuclear era (they use B&W in the intro for fallout 1) it seems to be 'nostalgia' related?
i could almost imagine those two people are husband & wife.. and he's about to leave for work, she's come out to kiss him (as all good complacent wives did in that era? lol) -- gotta love propaganda!
fascinating screeny! thnx for taking the time to post it.. i hear they're making a fallout 3 these days?
^ you must be a cool nerd if you're smoking.. hehe ^ /kills somebody on the way out
